A recent Cox Automotive poll has shown that U.S. dealers are becoming less optimistic about the upcoming sales period. Top reasons included the economy, high interest rates, and an uncertain political climate. That said, it probably doesn’t take an in-depth study to realize there’s something off about today’s product mix and financing options when the most common question I receive from friends about automobiles pertains to why they all seem to cost so much these days. But it's nice to have the extra data.

VinFast's second all-electric SUV, the VF9, has been issued a $10,000 price reduction before deliveries have commenced. The three-row utility EV was originally supposed to start around $83,000. But reports now have the MSRP pegged at $69,800 before taxes and fees.
